Cricket 101, Episode 6 – Traditions: The Boxing Day Test

What’s the best part about Christmas Day in America? The fact that halfway around the world in Australia it’s a day later, which means it’s Boxing Day and time for the Green and Gold to head out to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Boxing Day Test Match.

December 25th would not be complete in New Jersey without a Channel 9 broadcast on December 26th from Australia.
